UDP - Share of protected/designated land

This descriptor measures the share of protected/designated land belonging to the European networks Natura 2000 or Emerald Network in relation to the total area of the country or region. Natura 2000 is the ecological network for the conservation of wild animal and plant species and natural habitats of European importance across EU Member States. Emerald Network is the equivalent of Natura 2000 in non-EU European countries. For Iceland, not covered by both networks, the Nationally designated areas (CDDA) are considered. A high percentage of protected/designated land indicates the relevant presence of natural assets of high value. This descriptor is provided in the EU Tourism Dashboard as complementary information to characterize tourism offer. UNIT OF MEASURE: %. RESOLUTION: NUTS0, NUTS2, NUTS3. COMPLETENESS: 100%. METHODOLOGY: Natura 2000 areas and Emerald sites were merged into a single layer and then intersected with NUTS geometry. The share of protected land was calculated by aggregating the result of the intersection per NUTS code. DATA SOURCES: Natura 2000, Emerald Network, Nationally designated areas, NUTS 2021 classification.

本描述指标用于测算隶属于欧盟自然2000（Natura 2000）网络或翡翠（Emerald）网络的受保护/指定土地，在对应国家或地区总面积中的占比。欧盟自然2000是欧盟成员国范围内，用于保护具有欧洲重要性的野生动植物物种与自然栖息地的生态网络。翡翠网络则是非欧盟欧洲国家中与欧盟自然2000等效的保护网络。针对两个网络均未覆盖的冰岛，统计将采用国家指定保护区域（CDDA）作为替代口径。受保护/指定土地占比越高，代表区域内高价值自然资产的分布越充分。本指标作为欧盟旅游仪表盘（EU Tourism Dashboard）的补充信息，用于刻画区域旅游供给的特征。计量单位：百分比（%）。空间分辨率：NUTS0、NUTS2、NUTS3。数据完整性：100%。计算方法：将欧盟自然2000区域与翡翠保护地合并为单一图层，随后与NUTS几何图层进行空间相交分析；按NUTS编码对相交结果进行汇总统计，最终计算得到受保护土地占比。数据来源：欧盟自然2000网络、翡翠网络、国家指定保护区域、2021版NUTS分类标准。
